Hello first day of Spring 🌸

My orchid of over 30 years has a record number of blooms. It must love my courtyard as I do nothing except make sure it has water. I love watching it grow it’s big graceful spikes of heavy oval buds and then it gradually blooms in its own grow and flow time.

I have watched the blossom tree at the end of my street come into flower too. Every year it heralds the Spring!

Nature through the seasons is our teacher - we can lead with love - however the time to blossom & flourish will happen when we simply let it . . . πŸŒΈπŸ’•πŸŒΈ

Happy Springtime

The Life Changing Magic Of Walking & How To Do It Better with Dr Courtney Conley #660 30/08/2026

Sundaze . . . lovely walk around the tan today & coffee sitting outside after chatting with girlfriends about life. It’s a lovely regular part of my Sunday most weekends.

Walking is a joy for me, in good company around the green of the tan (gardens inside)

Came home, had a nutritious late lunch & domestic chores listening to this excellent podcast.

Yes it’s a lot about feet (I am obsessed but for all the good reasons, esp after abusing my feet as a professional ballet dancer for a long time! Love my feet now) It’s more than anything about how important walking & moving is in our life. Our feet - their strength & mobility are literally the foundation to that, and we need to look at all aspects of them. Footwear, walking, loading, mobility, pain and more. Very do-able small transitions are key πŸ”‘

This podcast will give you at least a couple of immediate easy do-able actions you can implement right NOW. It’s true response-ability appropriate to you. It’s what APT is all about!

Maybe listen to it over a few walks - I could not stop listening , so was cleaning, loading & hanging out washing, got heaps done!

I will also say APT training is very much focussed on foot health, barefoot training and recognising what your feet need now.

πŸ†“ Also I am running a FREE SMILE Session during Seniors month on 15 Oct Richmond Neighbourhood Centre that brings important foot awareness & tips for people over 50. See link in comments to reserve your place or learn more 😊

My APT message to you
Posting less
Authenticity over feeding algorithms

My APT content is 100% about quality, education, support, care, kindness, a life time of movement experience & teaching, with some occasional humour πŸ˜‰

Therefore if a video is longer than 3 mins - it’s for a reason & imparts worthwhile information without shortcuts that exclude vital parts simply to get likes & clicks & nurture shorter attention spans.

After over 18 years running my biz & living life with movement & music passion from age 3, I genuinely care & love what I do

I help humans love moving again - as they have the privilege of ageing well. APT clients take responsibility for their proactive movement & breathing for a fulfilling, enjoyable & happy life πŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ˜Š

Thanks for taking
the time to check out APT - especially when you are 50 + & need support , inspiration & education.

Tuesday is EXPRESS 30 day! 30 mins of nutritious delicious movement snacks.

A long standing APT client said to me this morning - she felt dreadful last week not starting her Tuesday with EXPRESS 30. She said it’s the β€˜Secret Sauce’.

It also reminded me of how many squillions of emotions and thoughts flash through our minds even in 1 short minute. It can be exhausting & it affects every part of how we feel. Guess what the best circuit breaker is? To become fully present & feeling gooooood?

One of my clients recently handed me an article she’d cut out of the newspaper.
She told me she could have written it herself - as this was her experience with her first Breath Session with APT recently.

Coming from someone who knew nothing about a Breath Session - who felt nervous & skeptical. The article described an experience where a woman went along because her friends were doing it. She summed it up:

β€˜It was a truly transformative experience that I can’t wait to re-live. And one that got me thinking a lot about the power of energy. Some personalities we meet drain your energy. Others lift you, and give you energy. And in a life that will always be full of ups and downs, how empowering is it to create your own energy, just like we did in our breathwork session.

I am 100 per cent sold. I would do it every single day for the rest of my life if I could. The spring is back in my step, and I’m grateful.
Give it a go if you’re open - your overworked mind, tired body and connection-craving soul will thank you, one breath at a time.’

Breathwork for everyday well-being is coming into its own, with good reason.
Simple breathwork techniques are one of the few intentional actions we can take to regulate all the systems in our mind & body.

The great news is it can be incredibley beneficial in as little as 5 minutes.

Research backed and accessible to almost anyone, coherant breathing can bring harmony/regulation to:
β™₯️heart rate
🩸blood pressure
βœ… digestive system
🫁 breathing rhythm

Breathing is an indirect way to moderate the state of the heart & synchronise the neuroactivity (brain)

Breathing takes the intensity out of the emotion

The breath is the ONLY thing we can consciously influence.

I have created a special intro booking rate for the first 6 people to enjoy this very unique Breath experience at Studio 1 RCLC - no fitness or experience required.

Book by 7 Aug for 40% off - special link in my bio or
